YouTube star PewDiePie under fire for using racial slur

Months after losing partnerships with Disney and YouTube, online video star PewDiePie is in trouble again after using a racial slur during a livestream.

The stream features PewDiePie — whose real name is Felix Kjellberg — playing the video game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a popular shooter game where up to 100 players battle on an island in a "Hunger Games" style survival match.

During the stream, PewDiePie is heard using the N-word, then appears to quickly correct himself. "I don't mean that in a bad way," he says. Later on in the stream, PewDiePie noted that "sometimes I forget that I'm live streaming."
